Just came back from a day of mathcad, physics and pool... apart from the usual serious (in our plays) and crappy (how we crap except during hitting of balls) games of pool with vin (always a game of light touches) and fai... and as i was reflecting upon the game of pool on life i can't help but snigger at myself, for thinking so much into things and drawing analogies... (as what i may agree at times, ignorance is blisss - shueli says must drag the s)
but there was this particular moment that i thought abt it when i had the black ball to hit on five different occasions but just missed the hole on those five... the first totally had no angle to it as there was a yellow ball blocking the hole where the black could possibly enter only, the second was one in which the black rattled the sides of the hole, which was why i had chosen to play the light way... but it was the fifth one that really caught my attention... one in which i had quite an open angle to it, but it was a cross table shot on the opp diagonal... and as i was looking far and wide aiming at the exact spot to nail it, my stick just mis-cued...
haha... had a high tendency to miscue one for every five shots... but for this, it would just draw me back to how i would usually aim ambitiously and then fail right at my own doorstep without having even started to do anything... or just like how i would usually like to think far ahead for most things when the most important elements now are not even there...
and how sometimes i would tend to go into a mini slump when things are not coming my way... reminded of how bridge games can get... when me and zh were brilliant, we could chop off wonderful contracts against pros (always that classic game of 19-11 against dcoup in mind), and when we slumped it would be 5 swings in a row or something to that effect... though im pretty much sure my mental aspects have improved vastly in bridge, but in terms of body coordination, i wouldn't be so proud of my previous records... like how the first open frame came in the sixth frame and i could stutter to a finish of 110-120s when it is up to 72++ in the first five frames (in case u are wondering i'm talking abt bowling)...
haha but anyway was pretty happy at how some shots went perfectly to my gameplan with the amount of strength and spin in some cases... haha really wanna go back and play pool with y'all man!! and of course christs jcr also reminded me of fussball with da man!
thank you for bringing me memories...
